Problems starting at Windows startup

Post by bob_hatcher »

V 1.9.4 build 1085

I have Cumulus set to start up on a reboot and it starts up but does not retrieve any data. All fields are 0. But, just shutting down and restarting and it connects and it gets and shows the data.

Any thoughts as to what is going on?

Thanks,

Bob

I'd guess that when running at boot, Cumulus is starting before the weather station boots up (if not running 24/7) or before the USB ports are running, or something like that. Have a look in the 'diags' file which should list what Cumulus is doing- I bet it's not finding the weather station.
Can't you run Cumulus 24/7 on a Raspberry Pi to avoid this and be able to see everything in real time?
